DWR Exclusive Originally known as Davey & Co., the company was established in 1885 and has roots dating back to the shipyards of 19th-century London. Its clients back then were the marine merchants operating out of London's West India Docks, and Davey Lights graced the decks of many of history's best-known vessels, including, it is said, the Titanic. Architects and designers have been longtime fans of Davey's industrial aesthetic, like their Well Pendant (2005), and satisfying the needs of this market helped the company continue to thrive. When manufacturing challenges brought the threat of closure, Peter Bowles stepped in and purchased the company. As part of Original BTC, which Bowles founded, Davey Lighting now supplies marine, industrial and decorative lighting to residential and contract customers – making Davey available to the public (instead of only to the trade) for the first time. All components are handcrafted by small specialist suppliers according to centuries-old traditions. Bulb (not included) 60W/GLS/E26. UL Listed. Made in England. Light is supplied as standard with 1.5 meters (approx. 5 feet) of cable, stainless steel wire and a ceiling hook plate. This pendant is for indoor use only.

Jean Prouvé's EM Table (1950) exhibits a dynamic relationship between the base and tabletop, following in the footsteps of such iconic designs as the Parsons table, the Eames Round Table and Le Corbusier's glass-topped table. Made of sheet metal, each tapered leg is turned out and angled on a diagonal slant to distribute the downward flow of energy on the table, making an incredibly sturdy surface for working or dining.

In a 1956 Time magazine cover story, Eero Saarinen said that the underside of typical tables and chairs makes a confusing, unrestful world and he was designing a new collection to clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home. Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table (1956), whose form was inspired by a drop of high-viscosity liquid. This iconic table features a cast-aluminum base with abrasion-resistant Rilsan finish and a solid marble, wood veneer or laminate tabletop. Each is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Eero Saarinens signature. This is the authentic Saarinen Pedestal Table by Knoll.

Romano Marcato received his degree in mechanics in 1970. After years of designing precision tools and machines for use in the automobile and electronic industries, he co-founded LaPalma, a company that specializes in the art of adjustability. His Brio Adjustable Dining Table (2005) moves from table to bar height – and anywhere in between – in seconds. Designed to have the fluid mechanics and ease of industrial machinery, it raises and lowers smoothly via a lever-activated gas cylinder. Conveniently located on the underside of the tabletop, the lever releases the table from a firmly locked position, and the locking mechanism ensures superb stability. With its ample tabletop, Brio comfortably accommodates up to four people, providing an intimate perch for a dining or lounge area. The tabletop resists warping and is easy to clean and maintain, and the heavy weighted base eliminates wobbling. Made in Italy. Materials: Plywood tabletop dark-stained oak veneer; zinc-plated metal base with stainless steel shell; matte chromed leg with die-cast aluminum extension. Measurements:H 26.75"–41.75" Diameter 35.5" Base Diameter 18"

Metalworker Xavier Pauchard not only brought the art of galvanizing steel to France but also took the process to the next level by creating the Marais A Chair (1934). The quintessential cafe chair, it was both elegant and robust enough to grace the decks of the S.S. Normandie ocean liner. After the death of Pauchard in 1948, his son Jean took over as managing director of Tolix and soon filled a void in the collection by designing a Dining Table (1955) to go with his fathers A Chair. Eighty years after the company was founded, the Tolix name is recognized worldwide as best-in-class furniture. All Tolix furniture is still made in Autun, the same Burgundy town where the company first began. Slight surface abrasions and markings are characteristic of the material and part of its hardworking machine aesthetic. Made in France. Tolix products are protected by copyright, making it illegal for another company to clone this table. At DWR, the Tolix products we sell are 100% authentic. The Marais Collection should be protected from moisture and kept indoors when not in use to maintain its finish. Materials: Sheet steel with epoxy varnish or powder-coated finish; rubber floor glides. Measurements:H 29" W 27.5" D 27.5"

Essentially a merging of an oval and rectangle, the super ellipse shape was initially defined by Danish poet/mathematician Piet Hein as a solution to an urban planning problem in Sweden. The year was 1959, and a new motorway was replacing Stockholms Sergels Square. Improving the efficiency of traffic through the area was crucial, and Heins newly defined shape satisfied this need. Hein soon came to believe that the super ellipse was the most visually pleasing shape for any number of applications, including sports arenas, swimming pools and, of course, dining tables. Hein first collaborated with designer Bruno Mathsson on a line of super elliptical desks; their Super Elliptical Tables were designed for Fritz Hansen in 1968. Fritz Hansen introduced this extension version in 1988. Seating 12 people (though its possible to squeeze a few more in at the gently rounded corners), the table comes with two self-storing extension leaves. With a lighter profile than most extension tables, the Super Elliptical has polished chrome legs that support an easily cleaned white laminate top. With both leaves inserted, a subtle bowing occurs in the center of the table – this is not a defect. Full expansion is intended for special occasions; use one or no leaves for daily use. Original design and licensed manufacture by Republic of Fritz Hansen. Made in Poland. Materials: Polished chrome steel legs and base; white laminate top; aluminum banding. Measurements:H 28.5" W 71"–118" D 47.25"

Charles and Ray Eames had ideas about making a better world, one in which things were designed to bring greater pleasure to our lives. Their table collection began with an idea for a single segmented base that could accommodate a variety of tabletops. What they came up with is sleek, simple and still being enjoyed worldwide today. For dining or workspace, the Eames Rectangular Table (1964) is a durable solution for residential and contract settings. The trestle base provides plenty of legroom, and the leveling floor glides adjust to uneven surfaces. Constructed of 82% recycled and 32% recyclable materials, this Greenguard Certified Table may contribute to LEED credits. This is an authentic Eames Table produced by Herman Miller. Eames is a licensed trademark of Herman Miller. Simple assembly required. Made in U.S.A.
